*The polishing thrust (pressure) varies according to the number of ferrules
mounted on the holding jig. Refer to Section 3.1 Setting polishing process
when setting the thrust.
(3) Mount the ferrules in the holding jig evenly according to the procedure.
If the ferrules are mounted incorrectly, the ferrules can slip and the tips
of the ferrules may not be polished throughly. When mounting less than
12 or 24 ferrules on the holding jig, make sure that they are arranged in a
balanced pattern, according to the procedure.
An unbalanced
arrangement of ferrules on the holding jig may cause the ferrules to be
polished unevenly.

Step 3 Take the holding jig with the
ferrules mounted in it and rub
the tips of the ferrules against
the polishing film for removal of
adhesive using a figure-8
motion.
Rub for about 10
seconds using only the weight
of the holding jig, then for about
20 seconds with about 1 to 2 kg
of hand pressure.
Step 4 Clean the tips of the ferrules
with cleaning paper.
Make
sure that there is no adhesive
remaining on the tips of the
ferrules. Use a new piece of
polishing film for removal of
adhesive every time this
polishing step is done.
Note
If the ferrules are mounted
incorrectly, the ferrule can slip and
the tip of the ferrule may not be
polished correctly.

spilling fluid on the operation panel.
Step 3 Set the holding jig on the arm of
the polisher.
Note
Be careful not to apply undue force
on the arm when mounting the

Chapter 8 Maintenance
To ensure that the machine will function correctly, the following
maintenance operations must be carried out after completion of
polishing operations.
Arm mounting part on the holding jig, sliding parts and bearings may
run out of lubrication or cause wear. It is recommended that regular
inspection (overhaul) should be performed once a year.
8.1 Cleaning after polishing
·
After polishing, or when stopping polishing for a period of time,
clean the OFL-15A as well as all of the polishing films carefully with
distilled water. Also make sure that no waterdrops remain on the
operation panel.
·
When the OFL-15A won't be used for a long time, ultrasonically
clean the holding jig in ethyl alcohol, then oil the holding jig and
keep it in a vinyl envelope.
8.2 Changing the polishing film
·
Replace the polishing film referring to the standard lifetime in
Section 1.1.
·
The lifetime of the polishing film is a guideline.
